COVID-19 RESOURCES

We know this is an extremely challenging time. People across the country, and indeed around the world, are scrambling to meet the needs of this unusual moment while looking out for their own health and their loved ones. We recognize graduate employees are dealing with the effects of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), including workplace disruptions and closures.

GAU continues to actively monitor developments regarding COVID-19. We encourage the community to treat COVID-19 seriously and follow the advice of public health professionals, including to practice social distancing to help us “flatten the curve.”Following public health guidance, GAU staff will be working remotely through the end of the summer. Please schedule an appointment or send an email for virtual office hours. You can also read GAU's latest statements on COVID-19. We are all in this together, and together we'll get through this.

We have compiled up-to-date information and important resources from the University of Florida, the federal government, and our partner unions.​​
